CAPE is a scalable drone software solution that allows agencies to stream live video, capture evidence, and operate drones remotely from a centralized location. Increase officer safety, improve response time, and augment operational efficiency with the scalable and cost-effective CAPE solution. CAPE Pilot supports multiple hardware products including various DJI drones and Parrot drones, enabling remote users to jump into the virtual cockpit of supported drones with a FAA section 107 licensed pilot-in-command with complete safety. With approval by the FAA for Beyond-Visual-Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) operations, one remote user can pilot any number of drones at the same time to maximize situational awareness and incident response time. SHORTEN RESPONSE TIMES - Quickly get to the scene to better inform situational awareness and incident response REMOTE DEPLOYMENT AND OPERATIONS - Manage your drone fleet, control video feeds and view alerts directly from public safety operations center INSTANT VIDEO SHARING - Instantly select and mobilize live video streams to operators, field commanders and response teams TRUSTED AND SECURE - Solution architecture is designed to protect sensitive data and system operations COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION - Dispatching drones as part of emergency response has been shown to reduce response times and allow agencies to gain faster situational awareness at a lower cost. REMOTE OPERATION - Allow drone pilots to hand off drone control to a remote operator when aerial support or expert eyes are required to gain a clear view of the situation. With aerial telepresence drones can be remotely operated from anywhere. This enables remotely gathering aerial intelligence and integrated operational workflows. LIVE STREAM - Rapidly deploy drones and stream live, high quality video to individuals and groups. Get expert eyes on scene in the moments that matter most. Aerial intelligence improves situational awareness and enables remote viewing, informing both subject matter experts and responding teams while reducing the need to visit remote, and hard to access locations. CAPTURE EVIDENCE - Gather high-quality images and video suitable for evidentiary use. Show an incident developing from a perspective that in-car and body-worn cameras cannot offer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CAPE Pilot at 100% against Ericsson NetCloud Mobile's 27%. CAPE Pilot also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 16.0). Ericsson NetCloud Mobile's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (549 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ericsson NetCloud Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ericsson NetCloud Mobile has 549 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Ericsson NetCloud Mobile's written reviews are positive against 100% of CAPE Pilot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ericsson NetCloud Mobile ships an update every 2 months, CAPE Pilot monthly. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
